The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

NCEI Storm Data entries that began inside the alert's area while it was in force. Before 2003 the local storm report archive is thin, so this is the record of what happened rather than what was phoned in.

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

NWS Goodland, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 4, 2:29 AM CDT, 5 hours 50 minutes earlier.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
129 AM MDT TUE JUN 4 2002

FORECAST CHALLENGES THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WILL BE POPS AS THEY
BEGIN TO TAPER OFF ALONG WITH AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS
TONIGHT...AND TEMPERATURES AS THEY RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL VALUES
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

MODELS ARE SIMILAR ALOFT WITH LARGER DIFFERENCES SHOWING UP NEAR THE
SURFACE AND IN THE MOISTURE/PRECIPITATION FIELDS. THE AVN HAS THE
MOST MOISTURE AND THE NGM IS MORE PROGRESSIVE.  HAVE SPLIT THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE MODELS BY GOING WITH THE ETA IN THE
SHORT TERM.

THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ALONG AND NORTH OF THE NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT
EXTENDING FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST KANSAS EARLY THIS MORNING.
THE FRONT IS PROGGED TO MOVE SLOWLY SOUTHEAST TODAY WITH SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE MOVING INTO THE TRI-STATE REGION BY WEDNESDAY.  THE NORTH
END OF THE UPPER TROUGH MOVING EAST OF THE ROCKIES CONTINUES EAST
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS TODAY WHILE THE SOUTH END LINGERS OVER
THE SOUTHWEST U.S.  ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...AN UPPER S/WV RIDGE
MOVES INTO PLACE OVER THE HIGH PLAINS WITH HIGH PRESSURE NEAR THE
SURFACE.  LIKELY SHOWERS TODAY WILL BECOME SCATTERED TONIGHT AS A
RESULT WITH DRYER AND WARMER CONDITIONS TO FOLLOW LATE IN THE WEEK.

THE NEXT LOW MOVES EAST OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND ONTO THE
NORTHERN PLAINS WITH A FRONT AND ANOTHER SHOT AT RAIN MOVING THROUGH
THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS SATURDAY NIGHT.  CONFIDENCE IN THE EXTENDED
PROGS IS LOW SINCE THE ECMWF AND MRF BECOME ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT OF
PHASE WITH EACH OTHER BY MONDAY.  THE MRF IS THE MORE PROGRESSIVE
MODEL...BUT PERSONAL PREFERENCE IS THE SLOWER ECMWF AS THE PATTERN
BECOMES A LITTLE MORE AMPLIFIED THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  HAVE MADE A FEW
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE EXTENDED PERIOD TO TAKE PRECIPITATION OUT OF
FRIDAY.

.GLD...NONE.
